You obviously haven't heard my master recordings of me farting into a tuba.

You mixed the mids like a bitch though.

a tangent but it's weird how we live in a time now where self released albums can be overproduced and oh boy most of them are

Obviously you're quite aware that that isn't what I'm saying, and as usual you're avoiding the question. Can you, for instance, go out on the street and sell your CDs or upload them to Bandcamp and have people buy them? That's the real test.

Not really. People haven’t paid for recorded music in a long time.

I do think he should tour, though.

Pretty sure that even pop artists are gonna struggle selling an album on the street in the modern day but since you're interested here are JTC's lifetime sales

I marketed my music to some of these people, not sure if that breaks the rules for "the real test" or not.

Man, I’ve seen so much great music with under a 1000 listens on Spotify. Has no relation to the value of the music.

I get **** for being a “fan boy” or mod kiss up or something but that bull****. It’s straight up about your music. It’s ****ing good. I’m calling it like it is.

I like a lot of his stuff but it's often kinda unfocused.
Some individual tracks are great but at album length I tend to get bored at some point.

You might think that it's unfocused, but I'm just surprised that we're still doing these awards.

I'm not, believe it or not, trying to put your music down. I don't like it, but that's me. But, if you were to GIVE your music away to people on the streets, say, and ask them to give you feedback when they had listened, I wonder what the overall reaction would be (other than, get me away from this crazy guy, I bet he has a gun, I had better take his damn album!) ....
